How-to Read and Print Word Comments
Once you receive your comments, remember to go "view" and highlight "comments" to split the screen so you can actually read them.
To print comments from a Mac, make sure you go to "file," and select "print," then in the third box, make sure you go to "Microsoft Word." Once you receive the Word dialogue box, hit "word options" and check comments and hiddent text. Happy Reading!
How to Access the class drop-box
From a PC, all you need to do is go to the start menu, click run, and when it prompts you for the server, type in
\\human101.hss-win.rpi.edu/classes/WRIT-2510
When you get to the WRIT-2510 folder and click inside, there will be two folders one called "section 3" which is for the 2pm folks and one called "section 4" which is for the 10 am folks. I realize that is slightly counter-intuitive, but I didn't make up the names and apologize in advance.
From a MAC go to the go menu at the top of your computer, click "connect to server" and type in
smb://human101.hss-win.rpi.edu/classes/WRIT-2510

Once you get there, it will prompt you for a password (which should be the same as your RCS name and password). If you have trouble, email me immediately.
How to access the RCS server
From a PC, all you need to do is go to the start menu, click run, and when it prompts you for the server, type in
